FaceOFF: Pull Out Vs Pull Down Kitchen faucet

Buying a Kitchen Faucet can be a pretty confusing task and even more so when you are faced with the choice of a Pull Out Kitchen Faucet and a Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet. Both faucets look almost identical, so what is the difference between them? Which one would be a better choice? There are many factors to consider when choosing from these two faucets.

You can check here all the pros and cons of both the faucets and then decide which one is more suitable for your needs:

Pull Out Kitchen Faucet

Pros:

It provides you with a not so high arc but you get a longer hose which you can pull towards yourself. This faucet makes it easier to fill up big buckets and pots and is extremely helpful if you have a small sink because it comes with a small spout. But its long hose will make sure that you are still able to clean your dishes outside your small sink.

Due to its flexible neck, there are fewer chances of water splash too. So if you are looking for a faucet which can fit in the small sink and still clean your dishes without causing a mess, then Pull-Out Kitchen Faucet is the one for you.

Cons:

Although it has many pros in its favor, it comes with a major drawback. You can’t fill tall pots and tumblers using this faucet and sometimes the faucet grip could be uncomfortable which could make it difficult for you to use the faucet every day.

Pull Down Kitchen Faucet

Pros:

This type of faucets come with a high arc spout which can easily help you in filling large pots and pans and are extremely helpful if you have a big and a deep sink. With its high arc spout, you can reach long ranges to clean your dishes with considerable ease and with multiple spray options, you can choose the desired setting for rinsing or filling your dishes.

Another benefit of this faucet is that it comes with an ergonomic handle which makes it easier to hold this faucet and its long hose help in cleaning in a set direction and won’t change the direction every second.

Cons:

One major drawback of this faucet is that since it comes with a long height if you don’t have enough space above your kitchen then using this faucet could pose a problem. Another serious flaw in this faucet is that due to its high arc spout, chances are that the water might be prone to lose pressure when you turn on the faucet.

Since it is higher, it is more likely that it would create a water splash, unlike the Pull Out Kitchen faucet which produced the least amount of mess.
